At least Dave left us something in keeping with the Friday tradition.


he's got a line on us, bub.

I just noticed the line "love you all-year long". Not just a one-niter, this guy.

OMFG! BOS Box Tops, "Soul Deep"!!


Also hopefully not just a one-niter if it's too big to hide and it can't be denied.

I would wager that this song has the database's highest % of appearances being in the No. 10 position.  Does the Shraytabase reveal all?

My money would be on the Supes' "Someday We'll Be Together".

According to my most-recent version of the SDB (August of this year), Mike nailed it--six appearances in the #10 slot for SWBT. Near as I can tell by eyeballing the list, the number two most common #10 song is--you wouldn't believe it--Metropolis by the Church. Lots of songs have four appearances in that position--Hugh Masekela, Jimmy Cliff (all of which are MLK Day sets so that may not count exactly), Julian Cope, Marvin Gaye, Rod Stewart, to name several.

But Tyrone Davis? Good thing for you we aren't betting. Only twice in the #10 slot. Yeah, it seems like more to me as well, but that's what the data says. It's only in the DB four times total prior to Friday. Must have been played an awful lot in those months not included in the DB.
Let's get right to it.
